THE ELECTRIC MOTOR LINE.

A reporter of the EAGLE yesterday having
hear I'd that the Riverside electric motor line
| was now a success went over to Riverside
| Park to learn something OF the particulars.
| The engine which drives the dynamo was 10
N otion and splendid rev car was standing
on the track in front Of the engine house.
Quite number of people were collected to
gave notice that if any one present wanted
to take ride they were at liberty to get
aboard. The car was soon filed with people
when the electric power ives appie
and the car moved off. There was
no noise or jar. Noiseless and
swiftly like a sail boat over the waters OF
placid lake, the splendid new car shot
through the park and across Elm street
bridge to Waco avenue. 1t was run back
and fourth slowly and then the speed in
creased to ten miles an hour until the spacta-
tors were all satisfied that the electric
motor line is a success. One man said he
expected to see passenger cars run on the
railroads all over She country by electric
power In a short time. And several parties
who claimed to know all about cable lines
said 1.-The electric motor is bound to super
cede the cable" Major Powell was an In
terested spectator, he said that he believed
the time would soon come when all street
cars will te propelled by the electric motor.
He said he could now zee but one drawback,
and that was p hen sleet falls and covers the
wires with ice whether it would not comnel
the cars to stop.

two LINKS,

The great social event of fair week was the
wedding at the Methodist church Thursday
evening Of Hr. G. G. Chivington, Of Wichita,
Kansas, and our society favorite, Miss Nora
Peas The ceremony was performed at z
O'clock precisely by the Rev. q. Nash, pastor,
and was impressive, after his usual felcitous
m inner. The contracting parties had ar
RAGGED to stand the fire alone and were un
accompanied by groom or maid. and their
part of the ceremony was dignified and SEN
sible, AT least two hundred expectant
friends had congregated. There were bellies
and beaus, and benedicts and matrons,
who had been called together by the
loving chime Of the marriage bell, and the
scene was In every sense one Of the most in
teresting that has ever occurred here After
the ceremony the happy couple, with their
immediate friends, marched out Of the church
to the strains OF a sweet wedding march, and
repaired to the residence of Mrs Pease, the
brides mother, where an ovation and con
CALCULATIONS were awaiting them. There
were many and valuable presents awaiting,
but we have no time to enumerate. We shsll
only speak OF one gift, and that Is ours, which
is the expression thot hsppis, ess may ever be
theirs. They will remain here for few DAYS
and return to Wichita, where they will make
their permanent home. Once more good
luck and plenty Of happiness Press.

TIKI GILBaRT PLOW WORKS.

A large forcs OF workmen commenced
work on tbs buildings Of the Gilbert pIov
works yesterday. The foundation Is being
put In for one builiing co by ESQ feet and
another TO by IFS feet, beside Offices and some
smaller buildings These buildings are all
under contract to be complsted by ths 18th
or Decent er and the company expect to
start up with large force Of hands by the
middle OF January and have their plows
ready for tie spring trade. This factory
will undoubtedly be one OF the important
industries which in the near future will go
to make busy Wichita. Parties in this city
who have dealt largely In agricultural nipple
ments pronounce the pillow manufactured by
this company superior to any plow now made
and there does not seem TO be any doubts in
regard to the SUCCESS of the enterprise.

TALKING FOR A FAIR ASSOCIATION.

With the closing Of the races of the South
western Fair association a number OF tbs
gentlemen interested in that enterprise and
Others have been discussing the propriety OF
organizing fair association. 1t seems thai
no cue ever doubted for moment that such
an enterprise can be made financial sue
cess and the last effort at a fair, it seems
places the proof stronger than ever before
them.
In talking with Councilman c. r. DERBY
yesterday concerning the matter be
stated that be believed a company should be
organized now and make no assessments or
In fact make no effort at determining upon a
site until next spring. Those who had gone
into the fair Of last week thought 1t would
be stepping stone TO a strong company, IN
GLIDING a number OF the leaiing men In the
county, who could give fair here next
year that would far surpass anything In the
state. Formerly the efforts to organize q
company would invariably find the cart BE-
fore the horse. When the subject would be
presented to man he would conclude that
he would give SO much il the grounds were
selected in certain placa The stock taken
would always depend on the Site He thought
that company could and should be organ
lied and tie site determined In the future by
the company.

COLD FACTS AND Pretended SCOOPS.

The EAGLE hes no fight TO make as be-
tween the trunk lines which reach and which
are serving Wichita, but we are unwilling on
| the other hand that any inference should be
made which would seem to indicate that its
staff is not posted, thoroughly critically and
minutely, upon every interest touching the
city's welfare Our evening contemporary
| comes out with a wonderful and surpris pg(3
cut on rates which may be news to some
of its readers but which so far as the rates
from Wichita to the gulf are concerned will
not be news to the shippers. Without en-
| teriDg into an explanation OF the Santa FEES
9th meridian business, and the sharp 'rate
war; which followed, nor how it was sought
to leave Wichita at disadvantage In COM
peting with Kansas City, all our shippers Of
fifth class freights know that by freight
tariff No. ISL, issued by the Frisco June 60
rates were made from Wichita to junction
points In Texas as follows: For first-class,
81. 20; second, 81 ;04; third, IS cents; fourth.
n cents, and class A, 81 cents, or precisely
the same rates that the Santa Fe determined
to adopt three weeks ago, and which are now
given. We like news, especially good news,
but no chestnuts.
Talking about freight rews-and it is a
kind of news which we think better always
be left to the board of trade and to our job
bers rather than to publish for the benefit Of
surrounding burgs-we will say now that
nearly q month ago the Frisco made a rate
on cotton piece goods from ST. Louis s1.06.
from Chicago 81 IS, from New York sl.64,
or one-hah cent cheaper all round than those
given by our cotemporary's wonderful scoop.
We could 60 much farther as. our heavy
shippers know, but it. being neither In the in
terest of such shippers nor Of the city, and
as it could only serve as pointers to the fell
lows up at the Kaw's mouth, we shall con
tent ourselves with only the further observa-
ton that this article is not written with the
view of championing any OF our trunk lines
but with the suggestion that if the people Of
Wichita are to be given news they should |
not be attended with the mortifying sound of |
'sbells"

A company has been formed with q CAPT

The most prominent members are Me@rs. W.

Mr.. Coney Is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and has
spent number Of years in the foundry busi-
ness IN Cincinnati. He comes to the city to
look over the inducements for engaging In
that business and like most men who come
looking for suitable points for starting an
enterprise, his seeing was convincing. As Is
known. the Stewart Bros. have been en-
gagged in the architectural iron business here
for some months. From q small beginning
they have, by the increasing trade here, been
induced to increase until they now give EN-.
ployment to near fifty men. Their plant
will be taken in the new company and the
plant 30 increased that it will give larger
and more varied output. 1t will do general
fouadry work.
1t is thought that the new plant win give

THE STOCK YARDS
VIII he Rebuils-1he Loss and the Amoant
OF lnsarance

K
| Yesterday crowds of people visited the site
Of the stock yards orth Of the city. The
ground was covered with ashes and spikes
and smoke was still issuing from the smold-
ering ruins. Near the center Of the burnt
tract lay the charred remains Of the cattle
consumed. Everybody was discussing the
conf ,graticn and its canses The opinion
still pevailed that it was the work OF 40
incendiary; but who was the
bastard that would thus dare to
destroy such valuable property, and an In
dustry Of which the peop'e of Wichita were
so justly proud, was a question asked by
every one. But whoever it may have been
they have successfully covered up their tracks
SO far, for there seems to be absolutely no
clue.
The yard and the hotel, it has been stated.
| were erected at q cost OF $4,000. The
yards themselves covered an area Of about
seven acres. Every thing in and around the
| yards was complete. There were two pairs
Of Howes scales aud the facilities for
watering the stock were complete.
The structure would throughout have
been yesterday supplied with water. In
fact there was everything necessary to make
| it the largest, best and most thoroughly
equipped yards west Of the Missouri. The
loss Is at present difficult to state. and ia
roughly estimated from $4,000 to 500, 600
Whatever it may have been it will not be
covered py the amount of insurance VIII oh is
but $50, 900. This is divided between the
eight folio wing companies in each Of which
is policy of $4,000; through Taylor, Hall
& Company, the American of Newark, n j.,
the Imperial Of London, Westchester, Of
New York; through Crawford, Bullock s.
Company, Orient Of Hartford, Louisville
Underwriters, Franklin of Philadelphia,
North British Mer, antile of London and
Edinburgh. These amounts will all be paid
by the companies, 1t was yesterday stated by
the agents, without any controversy. Tues
day afternoon number of representatives
visitei the yard ard It was their intention
there to increase the amount of the insur-
ance to $4,000.
The loss Of the cattle will also fall upon W.
r. Dulaney & Co.. as the evening before the
fire they had completed the purchase Of the
lot from Mr.. KILLER, of Cleveland, Kansas,
who had consigned them to Mr. Vorhis
There were thirty-three head OF hegs
in the yard; all except three
however managed to save their bacon for
future smoking. The two horses were used
ar ound the yards for hauling and belonged
to the company. There was about sixty
tons of hay, some loose and some baled, that
was consumed.
While the ruins Of the yards were still
smoking, the undaunted projectors we're
making plans for their re building u pom their
former sight. The exact time for the COM
pletion Of the rebuilding is not yet an
but it is said that work will be
In q few days.
